Imagine Me And You

This bland, formula romance is a predictable
exercise in good taste. Rachel (Piper Perabo)
is about to marry Heck (Matthew Goode), but
as she walks down the aisle, she catches the
eye of her attractive, free-spirited florist, Luce
(Lena Headey), who starts to have designs on
the bride. As Rachel works her way through a
rather dull marriage, the movie raises the
question as to whether Rachel and Luce are
ever going to get it on. It's hardly worth the
consideration. "Imagine Me and You" reduces
the sexual tension between the actresses to
the act of puppies frolicking. The picture
resembles such British hits as "Love Actually"
and "Waking Ned Devine," in that it turns
literate British farce into conventional sitcom
fare. The film is so concerned with squeezing
laughs out of the audience that it barely takes
time to make sense of the circumstances.
"Imagine Me and You" leaves nothing to the
imagination.
